Bottled. Dark muddy brown. Rich aroma and flavour: Aroma: Fruits and cocoa. Flavour: Milk chocolate, coffee but a bit too swet maybe with a clean maltiness. Creamy palate.

Bottle pored a translucent brownish black with a small, lingering brown head. Aromas of coffee,roasted malt, and some hints of chocolate. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of coffee, some fruitiness, and a bit of smoke with a smooth, ligering mildly bitter finish.

Bottle. Pours opaque with a small bit of dark brown at the bottom of the glass with a tall frothy tan head, quite fizzy. Ends with excellent spotty lacing. Dark roasted caramel malt and toffee initial aromas with a big coffee push and some vanilla notes. Faint floral hop, raisins, neat the end. Flavor is dark chocolate and coffee with a hoppy body(fruit) and dark molasses and alcohol lingering. Full bodied and dark, somewhat dry and astringent.

Black pour with sediment left in the bottle. Taste had a slight metallic thing going on along with a thin bodied roast taste. All the other flavors are also on the light side. I wouldn’t drink this again if I didn’t have to.

Bottle at beerbistro. Pours black with a small brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Smells great. The flavour also consists of roasted malt, coffee and chocolate but I would like the coffee and/or chocolate to be even more prominent. Hides the 8% extremely well. Body’s a tad too watery. A little bitter. This is a wonderful beer.

Bottled. Poured a large creamy tan head with fine-medium sized bubbles that mostly diminished. It had a opague body with a black hue. The aroma was malty, sweet, fruity and smokey. The taste was sweet, mild coffee and smokey. The mouthfeel was velvety smooth. This was a medium bodied beer with good lacing.

Bottle. Pours opaque black with a tall, sturdy brown head. Nose is slightly roasty and nutty with moments of milk chocolate and dark fruit. Taste is very fruity and slightly spicy with notes of milk chocolate, roasted malt, and nuts. Body is medium with some smooth creamy parts and alternating carbonation sharpness. Finish is sweet malts, bittersweet chocolate, light cocoa, figs, light spice, and light nuttiness. Great stuff!
